Medic!: How I Fought World War II with Morphine, Sulfa, and Iodine SwabsLt. Gen. George S. Patton remarked that the "45th Infantry Division is one of the best, if not the best division that the American army has ever produced." Such praise, however, came at a steep price, for the 45th saw some of the fiercest fighting in the European campaign from Sicily to Anzio and from southern France to Germany and racked up one of the highest casualty rates.

Lt. Gen. George S. Patton remarked that the "45th Infantry Division is one of the best, if not the best division that the American army has ever produced." Such praise, however, came at a steep price, for the 45th saw some of the fiercest fighting in the European campaign--from Sicily to Anzio and from southern France to Germany--and racked up one of the highest casualty rates. Through it all, medic Robert "Doc Joe" Franklin--drafted in 1942 and thrust into combat with no specific training or knowledge for treating war wounds--soldiered on, fighting as hard to keep his men alive as the enemy fought to kill them. The story of his career as a frontline medic, one of the first memoirs written by an aid-man, is told here with simplicity, unflinching honesty, and grit.
Studded with memorable vignettes--of a friend who "smells" the Germans long before they appear, the dog that acts as an artillery spotter, the lieutenant who can't see beyond a few hundred feet--Franklin's memoir documents the almost unbearable drama of ground gained and lives lost, as well as the terrible human toll of battle on himself, his comrades, and civilians quite literally caught in the crossfire. A rare look at the fight for lives laid on the line, Medic brings to life the reality of war.

Perfect for Smooth Dermaplaning!
Style: Dermaplaning Oil
This oil is amazing for dermaplaning! It provides the perfect glide for my razor without irritating or damaging my skin. The ingredients—jojoba and squalane—are some of my favorites, and my skin has been loving them. Every time I use this, my skin feels softer, smoother, and more nourished. The more I use it, the better my skin looks. If you dermaplane regularly, this is definitely a must-have!

INACCURATE DESCRIPTION
Style: Dermaplaning Oil, Style: Dermaplaning Oil
the product description reads, “ Dermaplane Oil for Smooth Razor Glide, with Squalane & Vitamin E, Face Oil for Dermaplaning Oil, All-Natural Formula, Dermaplane Spray Oil, Non-Greasy, Suitable for Sensitive Skin 3.21 Fl Oz by MyMed” However, the product I actually received is one box of 1.7 fl oz. Not worth the hassle of returning. Just want others to be aware of the product error.

Silky smooth for dermaplaning
Style: Dermaplane Oil
This is a very effective dermaplaning oil that isn't greasy and allows my razor to glide over my skin smoothly. After use, my skin feels better hydrated and smooth. The ingredients are natural and good for the skin, and I've noticed a difference when I use it. I highly recommend this natural oil for dermaplaning.

Wonderful but Sharp!
Size: #14R, Style: Pack of 20
These things are legit! This is not the typical ones you find in Walmart, Ross, TJMaxx etc. This is a true blade that will indeed do authentic dermaplaning. That said, be EXTREMELY careful with this as you can easily cut yourself. I highly recommend to anyone experienced but if you have no experience I would opt for the typical ones you can buy in the stores previously mentioned.

Professional-Quality Scalpel Blades for Dermaplaning = Clean, Precise & Individually Sterile
Size: #10R, Style: Pack of 10, Size: #10R, Style: Pack of 10
I’ve been using these sterile disposable scalpels for dermaplaning, and I’m honestly very impressed with the quality especially for the price point. Each blade comes individually packaged and clearly sterile, which is extremely important for both professional and at-home use. The blades are sharp, precise, and glide smoothly across the skin without tugging or causing irritation. That clean, controlled edge is exactly what you want for effective dermaplaning. What I also love is the consistency every single scalpel in the box performs the same. No dull blades, no inconsistencies. The handle feels lightweight but still easy to control, giving you a steady grip during use. These are perfect for: • Dermaplaning • Precision skincare treatments • Light professional use If you’re someone who values hygiene, sharpness, and reliability, these are a great find. I’ll definitely be repurchasing.
